Answer:

D. Debit retained earnings for $100,000 on April 1, 20X3, and debit interest expense for $7,500 on December 31, 20X3.

Explanation:

As  East declared a dividend of $100,000 on April 1, 20X3, the journal entry to record the transaction -

Retained earnings debit                         $100,000

Dividend payable  credit                                  $100,000

As east issued promissory notes and the maturity date of March 31, 20X4, an interest rate of 10% arose. Seance the physical year ended in December 2004, the interest rate was accrued for December 2004 (9 months). The journal entry is

Interest expense debit                           $7,500 (Note - 1)

Interest payable  credit                                      $7,500

Calculation: $100,000 × 10% × (9 ÷ 12)

Calculation: $10,000 × (9 ÷ 12) = $7,500

Therefore, option D is correct.

True or false: When units produced are less than units sold, net income under absorption costing will be less than net income co
Oliga [24]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Generally, net income will be the same under absorption costing and variable costing. However, producing fewer units than units sold will decrease the net income under absorption costing. As whatever the variable cost is under the absorption method, fixed manufacturing overhead remains the same that decreases the gross profit and net income. Under the variable costing, the fixed overhead will be calculated as per the units produced. Therefore, the net income will decrease proportionately.

A steel company manufactures heavy-duty brackets for the shelving industry. The company has budgeted for the production and sale
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Contribution margin per unit = $11.90

Explanation:

Given:

Total unit sale = 1,000,000

Unit selling price of a bracket = $22.50

Direct material required = 4 pounds per unit  

Direct labor required = 0.15 hours per unit

Cost of material per pound = $1.75

Direct labor cost per hour = $9.00

Total variable selling cost = $2,250,000

Find:

Contribution margin per unit = ?

Computation:

Direct material per unit = 4 pounds per unit × $1.75

Direct material per unit = $7

Direct labor per unit = 0.15 hours per unit × $9.00

Direct labor per unit = $1.35

Variable selling cost per unit = Total variable selling cost / Total unit sale

Variable selling cost per unit = $2,250,000 / 1,000,000

Variable selling cost per unit = $2.25

Contribution margin per unit = Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit

Contribution margin per unit = Sales per unit - [Direct material per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable selling cost per unit]

Contribution margin per unit = $22.50 - [$7 - $1.35 - $2.25]

Contribution margin per unit = $22.50 - [$10.6]

Contribution margin per unit = $11.90

Kahn Inc. has a target capital structure of 45% common equity and 55% debt to fund its $9 billion in operating assets. Furthermo
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Payout ratio =1- 12.96%*45%*9/1.4 = 0.6252 or 62.52%

Explanation:

WACC = Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity + Weight of Debt * (1-Tax rate) * Cost of Debt

16% = 45%* Cost of Equity + 55%*(1-40%)*9%

16%-55%*(1-40%)*9% = 45%*Cost of Equity

Cost of Equity = 28.9556%

Current price of Stock = D1/(Cost of Equity - Growth)

25 = 4/(28.9556%-Growth)

Growth = 28.9556%-4/25 = 12.96%

ROE = Net income/Equity = 1.4/(45%*9)

Growth rate = (1- Payout ratio)*ROE

12.96% = (1-Payout ratio)*  1.4/(45%*9)

Payout ratio =1- 12.96%*45%*9/1.4 = 0.6252 or 62.52%
